As a 20-year Life magazine veteran, Feininger was well-known for his photos of nature and this book collects his images that depict the power and the beauty, the variety and meaning of trees. Individual trees, whole forests, trunks, leaves, fruits, branches, roots are presented and transport us to worlds familiar and bizarre. The text is authoritative and scientifically accurate without being a textbook and discusses the economical, ecological, and emotional roles that trees play in our lives. 116 pages; 128 b&w and 32 color full-page photographic reproductions plus b&w illustrations and maps; 9 x 11 inches.
